What Ho chaps,
I'm new here but some of you may remember me from such sims as "IL2 Sturmovik". Anyway here's my list of experiences. Nothing spectacular ....until you get to the end:

Dragon Rapide (In the 1960's, around Lands End in Cornwall, UK. I was only about 6 or 7 and wouldn't walk across to the other seat as I was convinced I'd fall through the floor!)
707
Caravelle
VC10 (RAF)
BAC 111
Viscount (VERY comfortable indeed, Virgin, Gatwick to Maastricht several times in the mid 80's)
Airbus A340 (Virgin. Heathrow to LA. Very comfortable)
747 (Virgin again. From LA to Heathrow.Fast but bloody uncomfortable!)
767
Some others, mainly Airbuses to Europe.

Helo:

Sikorsky S61

and finally

Warbird:

TF-51 Mustang "Crazy Horse" in Florida on 6 July 2012, my 50th birthday present of the Mrs who you can hear near the end of this bit of footage that I edited from the video taken by my son and the on board video. Best £1500 I ever spent and I WILL be doing it again!

Six, one hour hops in the front seat of a T-34 Mentor. Had total control of the aircraft after passing through 500 ft. on first take off. Practiced take offs, landings, touch and go's, basic aerobatics, stalls, spins, and spin recovery.

Two, one hour hops in the backseat of a T-28 Trojan, including one carrier landing and take off, and aerobatics.

One, one hour flight in the backseat of T-2J Buckeye. Practiced more aerobatics.

One one hour flight in SH-3 Sea King. Managed to keep it airborne for 45 minutes.
